Accidental Death of an Anarchist

By Dario Fo
translated by Ed Emery
directed by Paul Mullins
August 3-28

Dario Fo's brilliantly funny, irreverent political farce embodies
the modern Fo-brand of commedia theatre that has helped
define him as a playwright of the people. The Nobel Prize Committee said of his work, "[he is a writer] who emulates
the jesters of the Middle Ages in scourging authority and
upholding the dignity of the downtrodden." Inspired by a
real-life event involving a man who "fell" from the window of a
police station, Fo has invented an outrageously sly and caustic
comedy filled with physical and linguistic acrobatics.
